• Jeep Cherokee 2.5CRD - Blown fuel injectors 16 May 2010 (Forum)
  I have a 2002 Jeep Cherokee 2.5 diesel with 83000 miles. Last October my garage replaced fuel injectors 1 and 2 and the copper seals. 2 weeks later the EGR pipe came loose. In January a bolt sheared and fuel injector 3 dropped onto the road (literally).

  Hi all, I have a problem with my vauxhall movano. mileage 67000 My van has just had work done to the gearbox, new clutch assembly, new slave cylinder. new master cylinder & new gearbox bearings. on replacing all components i started to turn van over & it started only for about 5 seconds & died, tried again a few times but would not fire. sprayed some easy start into air assembly & it started. Checked seals to diesel filter all fine, fuel filter has just been replaced checked for problems it to was fine, disconnected hose from fuel filter to diesel injection pump & turned van over to check for fuel, this to was working so pump in tank working. disconnected fuel union nut at fuel accumulator turned van over but no fuel delivery, could this mean injection pump goosed or is there something else i might have missed before i change pump as its not cheap.
• Ford Mondeo 2.0 Diesel 2005 55000 miles - Glow Plug Light Flashing/Engine Cutting out 27 Oct 2015 (Forum)
  It may also go into limp home mode and the engine management light will come on. The issue will be in most cases the Diesel Injector Fuel Pump - cost to replace - about £1100! Don't listen to anyone about water in the fuel, camshaft sensors, crankshaft sensors, even injectors. These are all red herrings. There is a known problem with the internal workings of the fuel pump that fail and send swarf through the system.

• Peugeot 106 (1991 - 2002) - 1995 1.5 diesel - air in fuel system 15 Apr 2008 (Forum)
  I can push the pin into the plastic body against a spring pressure and by gripping the pin with a pair of pliers it can be completely withdrawn from the housing. The pin is about 1" long and 1/16 in diameter. When I operate the fuel priming pump diesel fuel is emitted from the join between the housing and the pin; so presumably air can also be drawn in here. What is this 'valve'? and can anyone venture an opinion as to what could have caused it to fail?
• Kia Sportage 1.7 litre - Biodiesel blocked fuel filter 21 Dec 2014 (Forum)
  Having had a blocked fuel filter within 5000 miles from new and with my car now on 11000 miles, I am concerned that with colder weather, I will again experience what is apparently "clouding" of the diesel fuel and blockage of the fuel filter.
• Dead Fuel Injection Pump? 17 Nov 2003 (Forum)
  I?m sure this?ll be an easy one for the experienced guys out there! I had cause to disconnect my fuel tank on my Peugeot 309 GLD 1.9 diesel (1988), creating an almighty air lock in the feeder pipe to the fuel injection pump. I reconnected the tank but the engine sort of half spluttered but never actually fired.

• Mercedes Benz C-Class W203 (2000 - 2007) - 03 2.2 won't start after fixing diesel leak 12 Jan 2009 (Forum)
  A pal was asked to look at a fuel leak on a neighbours 53 Merc. There was diesel dripping from a hose from the fuel filter where it connects onto a black component at the top of the engine at the front. An o-ring had failed. This was replaced and now the car won't start.
• Rover 75 - diesel engine problem 19 Aug 2003 (Forum)
  I own a 2001 Rover 75 2.0 CDT auto. This car uses the BMW 2.0 litre diesel engine. In June this year the engine began running rough on idle and cutting out. The problem became worse and eventually it was diagnosed as a faulty pressure sensor in the high pressure fuel rail.

• Ford Fiesta - 2009 1.6 diesel timing issues 26 Jul 2016 (Forum)
  Hi i have just had my timing belt fitted by a mechanic in june 2016 on a diesel 2009 1.6TDCI fiesta. This was done at less than 84,000  Since then the fuel seems to not last as long, although it has been a while since i filled it full to the brim. Due to usage and costs i've been running it on supermarket diesel and generally filling up from empty (fuel light on less than 50 miles) to half a tank.

• Citroen C Crosser 4x4 2,2 Diesel - Car Hesitating on reapplication of throttle 8 Apr 2013 (Forum)
   Have had 1.5 tanks of diesel since the misfuel incident.   I have had the fuel filter replaced (Genuin Citroen) but no change in symptoms.  Local garage can't find any fault codes and could not replicate - however it does it regularly for me albe it less often on some routes than others.
• Ford Escort (1993 - 2000) - 97 1.8 Diesel issue 14 Jul 2009 (Forum)
  If it was a petrol engine, I'd say I had an intermittent ignition problem, but I'm not all that familiar with diesels. Don't think it would be the fuel distibution pump or an injector, or it would happen more often. Could it be a fuel filter maybe ? Any help or guideance would be much appreciated from you diesel speciallists :-) Good long weekend to all..............englishbullterrier

• Good mid-sized auto diesel 11 Feb 2003 (Forum)
  If you want the auto option a lot of cars only seem to have a petrol available e.g. Ford Focus. It horrifies me the effect that some autoboxes have on fuel consumption e.g. Rover 75 1.8 Manual 36.2mpg, 1.8 Auto 30.1 - admittedly petrol but equally bad effect on the derv engine, there must be some which are much better than this. So basically what is a good mid sized diesel auto with reasonable fuel consumption?
• Over supply of fuel 2 Apr 2020 (Forum)
  Link from Autocar hope its allowed https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/industry/petrol-stations-may-close-due-low-demand-warns-trade-body With fuel retailers having a oversupply of fuel right not and lots being stuck with (old) petrol and diesel they purchased befor the fall in price of oil could there be a risk of stale petrol? Also it says some fuel retailers will have to close as they're not getting enough customers to keep doors open.
